You make your car more reliable through regular brake service.

Car brakes should be serviced regularly. Have them inspected at least once a year or every 19,000 kilometres. Signs that your brakes may need servicing include grinding or squeaking noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations or pulsations when braking, and longer stopping distances.

The cost can range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. The cost of replacing brake pads, rotors, and callipers, can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, and of the damage or wear.

Spongy or soft brake pedal, a brake pedal that goes to the floor, or difficulty stopping the vehicle - are the signs that you need to take your car to a mechanic. Additionally, illuminated warning lights on the dashboard, a grinding noise, or leaking brake fluid may also indicate a problem with the brake master cylinder.

It depends on the severity of the leak and the cause of the problem. It may take only a few hours to replace a damaged brake line or tighten a loose fitting, but more extensive repairs or component replacements may take longer. We can loan you a car while we work on yours. We may be able to loan you a car while we perform the work on your vehicle.

Brake fluid should be replaced every two years to reduce the chances of rust forming on internal components, causing unnecessary replacement of components like calipers, wheel cylinders, ABS module, etc..

Our brake system checklist is effective

We check how many millimeters are remaining on your the pads to assess the need for brake pad replacement or repair.

Our certified mechanics verify the brake fluid level and ensure the brake lines are clear and undamaged, as leaking oil can cause the front or rear brakes to fade.

We inspect the brake rotors for thickness and trueness in addition to inspecting brake calipers for tight pistons and wear and tear on mounting pins and caliper mounting points.
